Frommer's Review
In the early 20th century, the Pierce-Arrow Company was manufacturing some of America's best high-end cars. It supplied wheels to the White House, the royal families of Japan and Saudi Arabia, and some of the wealthy local industrialists. Now this museum pulls together some of these behemoth autos in its huge open space, along with the bikes and motorcycles the company also made before the Depression sent it spiraling downward. The museum is still trying valiantly to raise enough money to build the only gas station designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Built to Wright's specs, it's a filling station he designed but never realized in his lifetime.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
